Wahlberg and Chow both perform very believably and work well on screen
together. This partnership reminded me of Training Day (with Denzel
Washington and Ethan Hawke). That is, the green cop being "educated" by
the seasoned cop and we're not sure if the seasoned one is corrupt or
not. I also thought it was shot well with good use of lighting. The
action scenes were well directed and quite spectacular in some cases
(eg. the car chase and several shoot-outs) without going too over the
top. The plot was a little hard to follow at first, but I blame this on
myself, not the storyline. It's commendable that so much thought was
given to the script and plot so it didn't always seem we were just
waiting for an action scene. The drama added intensity and suspense
well, too. For example, the tension between Chen and Wallace. The
thread with Wallace and his father added good depth to his character
and the story, as did the fact that he and Chen retained their
partnership in fighting even when the suspected worst was revealed
about Chen. It was also notable the role music played in the film. For
example you always knew when the Asian punks were about to show up due
to the rap music. The subtle music in dramatic dialogue scenes gave the
scenes a good atmosphere.
